# Custom-Tkinter-Tooltip
Basic Hover Tooltip for Tkinter based off of Tkinter's built in tooltip with the added ability to customize most options
## Install:
`pip install --upgrade Custom-Tooltip`
*https://pypi.org/project/Custom-Tooltip/*
## Uninstall:
`pip uninstall Custom-Tooltip`
## Use:
Example:
```
from custom_hovertip import CustomTooltipLabel
CustomTooltipLabel(anchor_widget=button1, text="This is tooltip text for button1.")
```
Full Example:
```
from tkinter import *
from custom_hovertip import CustomTooltipLabel
top = Tk()
top.title("Test Custom Tooltip")
label = Label(top, text="Place your mouse over buttons")
label.pack()
button1 = Button(top, text="Button 1")
button1.pack()
CustomTooltipLabel(anchor_widget=button1, text="This is tooltip text for button1.")
button2 = Button(top, text="Button 2")
button2.pack()
CustomTooltipLabel(anchor_widget=button2, text="This is tooltip\ntext for button2.", background="grey",
foreground="black", width=15, justify=CENTER)
top.mainloop()
```
You only have to define the widget it's anchored to as well as the text. You can see this example under `button1`
